  When is this country going to stop the monopoly of the internet giants who control the access & content of emails. Google shut down my access, refused payment, yahoo denied access, now AOL denied access. Google, Blackrock, Microsoft, ramped up their efforts to control us.

  History tells us that the companies that are early leaders in a software category rarely remain so. Altavista? Excite? InfoSeek? You're old if you remember those, but at the time they were dominant. Then came Yahoo, then Google... Years later. AOL? EarthLink? Compuserve? They were the Internet for most users. Now? Telcos & Cable cos reinvented themselves as consumer ISPs and dial up mostly died. The historical examples go way beyond software. The point is that although OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok/X, Google are dominating AI right now, things change in ways we can't forecast. The next better faster cheaper different AI solution that erases some current leaders probably hasn't been created yet. I do wonder though, who dies first? I'm talking 5-10 year window.

  One of the most underrated skill in business: writing a good email. 350+ billion emails are sent every day. Nobody talks about email etiquette. The people who are good at it shine. The people who aren't have a disadvantage and don't even know it. Here's how to fix it: Keep it short. No email should ever be over 150 words. Paragraphs should never be more than 4 lines. When you write an important email, spend just as much time cutting it down as you spent writing it. Go line by line. Ask: is this sentence absolutely necessary? Can I combine these two into one? Ditch the Comcast, AOL, and Hotmail addresses. Set up a professional email on your own domain using Google Workspace. Don't put "CEO" in your signature if you're a startup with no employees. I know you founded the company. Put "owner" or "founder." When I see "CEO" from a company I know is brand new, I roll my eyes. Never criticize anyone in a reply-all. If people are CC'd, it means they want to be kept in the loop, so reply all to keep them there. And remember: email is permanent. Don't put anything in writing you wouldn't want surfacing years later. Small thing. Massive advantage if you're one of the few who actually does it right.

  @SADDAY_EVERYDAY WCW would still be here today if AOL/Time Warner cared about pro wrestling at LEAST enough to sell it to Bischoff. Guaranteed money wouldn't have done ****. They wouldn't have gone broke trying to pay Hulk Hogan. It's stupid to think otherwise.

  @garyvee Next we need to bring back MySpace, AIM, and AOL dialup. I never realized all the coding I did back then for my profile was foreshadowing how much coding would be used today 💬

  This pro-PRC model industry group from Silicon Valley is interesting but I think not thinking long-term. Why can’t the frontier labs do something like AOL did with its Greenhouse project and say OK, I will let you distill but we want equity in your company and/or a fee. AOL got equity for promotion/placement on the screen. (we committed 30+ million at MarketWatch, helped traffic and the ipo a lot, but worst company I have ever negotiated with). Anyway, apologies for the digression, but why couldn’t this be similar but for distillation access, and the labs like Anthropic and OpenAI could end up with a really interesting portfolio of companies, some of which might become quite valuable, and those smaller firms’ VCs could also benefit? Otherwise, does it really make sense for a huge swathe of the American technology industry to end up dependent on PRC models? Haven’t we learned any lessons from other industries where PRC firms have been able to come in at a very low cost with good products and effectively create dependencies that crowd at all other competitors? And now we are talking about the most transformative industry in many years, and it could be even worse if it’s built in part through some problematic practices in terms of distillation attacks and export control violations, if some of US government’s and frontier labs’ claims are true?

  The crazy part about having dial-up internet was we had to add an extra ~20 minutes to our time of arrival because we had to turn on the computer, open the AOL app, sign in, and then wait for that long dial-up tone before going to the MapQuest site to write down directions.
